Zebras

I spent most of the night working on a completely different strip, but just couldn’t get it right. This one’s been almost-finished and in my “emergency” bin for months, and my wife says it’s funny, so here it is.

I just got a new collection of clip art in the mail today! I’ve barely checked it out, but can’t wait to truly dig in and see what creepy reptiles, melting phones, and uphill box races it has to offer!

@MuleyBob: Talking, sapient zebra have the same problem as another talking, sapient animal I’ve heard of. They live in some pretty stupid places, keep building inadequate houses in hurricane pathways and flood basins that wash out sometimes every single year and clearly also attempt to live where tigers live.

Nobody ever said that talking, sapient zebra were very smart. Kind’ve like that other talking, sapient animal. It’s name is right on the tip of my fingers, but it slips my mind.

Yeah, it actually occurred to me when I woke up this morning that I really should’ve researched what kind of animals actually DO eat zebras. Ah well. This is what happens when I don’t finish a strip ’til 1 in the morning. I’ll fix it tonight and change this comment to read “What are you talking about? It clearly says ‘lions!'” Hooray for abuse of power!

Oh, and I stand by “crunch.” The only zebras I’ve ever eaten were animal crackers, but I assure you that they do in fact crunch. And are delicious.

Thanks for sticking with me through this latest sleep deprivation experiment,

This sorta reminds me of that Robot Chicken sketch, in which a Jelly Bear steps into a trap. Doing what bears do, it decides to gnaw off its leg, which it starts doing with a grimace of pain. But the jelly bear discovers it is in fact delicious, and finishes the job with relish.

Y’know, Rob did a lot of amazing things with PartiallyClips in his eight-year run, but to my knowledge he never wrote a strip that inspired a fundraiser for a zebra-tasting to determine if its meat is in marble sections.

Don’t get me wrong people, I like the strip. It’s funny for sure.
I just always wanted to be the guy who points out a flaw or error that has nothing to do with the point. I see people doing that w/ such smug satisfaction and I have always wanted to be that a-hole.
So I thank you, Shoebox, for this chance to realize a dream.
